News(?) from Georgia Tech
After not hearing a damn thing from the Human-Centered Computing Ph.D. Program for months, I emailed them to ask if there was some problem. All my documents show as being in, all letters of recommendation done months ago, etc. The response? “A first round of offers was made, and all other applicants were placed on a waiting list. Unfortunately, it appears that the class will fill up and no offers will be made to applicants on the waiting list.” So presumably, I’m on that waiting list.

Popsicles!
2 cups frozen stawberries 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 tbsp sugar (or substitute of your choice) 3 tbsp orange juice 1/2 cup water (or however much to get the damn thing to blend) Blend.

It’s even good as goop, which you can see in the blue bowl. Not unlike sorbet, actually.

If I can run fast, then I’ve gotten strong, I’ve mastered my asthma, and I can push myself in the short-term. If I can run long, then I’ve learned the balance between speed and distance; I’ve been able to overcome muscular problems; I’m eating well enough that my tummy can take being jostled for a while. For the last two years, if I can even bring myself to lace up my shoes, then I’ve won a mental battle for my health. I’ve done it maybe 50 times…
